Washington University — St Louis, MO
About this program
Washington University's BA in Drama is a comprehensive undergraduate program offering 36 units (12 courses) of study in theatre and performance. The program emphasizes a broad, liberal arts approach to drama education, requiring students to complete foundation courses in theatre production, acting, and performance studies, alongside applications courses in design, directing, and playwriting. Students must also engage with historical practice in theatre and explore non-Western or underrepresented cultural traditions in drama. The program culminates in a choice of eight specialized pathways—Drama General, Acting, Directing, Costume Design, Lighting Design, Scenic Design, Playwriting, or Theatre, Performance & Society—allowing students to tailor their studies to their artistic interests. With a grade requirement of C- or better in all drama coursework, the program balances rigorous artistic training with the intellectual rigor of a major research university.
